Fatty acids control a lion's share in the India oleochemicals market on
account of large requirement for distilled fatty acids and
polyunsaturated acids, which are essential in the production of soaps,
personal care products, detergents, lubricants, surfactants, etc.

However, the fastest growth in India oleochemicals market over the next
ten years is anticipated to be exhibited by methyl esters and fatty
amines, which are increasingly being used in the agrochemicals sector.
West region controls the largest share in India oleochemicals market on
account of strong presence of soaps and detergent manufacturing
industries in the region. However, North India is projected to exhibit
the fastest growth in demand for oleochemicals in India over the course
of next ten years.
